Player Watch Mid-Season Pick #13 (2021) - Jed McEntee

[yepits2020]

Jed is at the end (hopefully) of a long list of a failed strategy - turn midfielders into a defensive high half forward. Think of it, examples that come to mind, they almost killed Boak’s career, Will Snelling

(if I remember correctly, got 3 Brownlow votes as a midfielder in the AFL team on two consecutive occasions, then banished), and Jed McEntee.

Years of doing the same thing and getting the same result.

I do not blame Jed one bit. He has talent, just not used to his strengths.

Hear me out here, but I heard some clubs recruit junior half forwards to play ... at half forward! Crazy I know, but it just might work.

On McEntee, I had a look back at his draft profile. Midfield, midfield, midfield. But at Port ...

And when he gets dropped to the Magpies he plays in the midfield not as a defensive small forward. Hinkley thinking at its best

I thought the Maggies were bad BECAUSE we were treating it as a practice for the Power.

Now, I am lost.

 

[Rash]

Hes a limited footballer with no afl qualities, not his fault. but its the fault of our recruitment team

And when he gets dropped to the Magpies he plays in the midfield not as a defensive small forward. Hinkley thinking at its best

Lol yes, pad his stats so he can justify bringing him back to the AFL team.

If Geelong advance to to the grand final including Port, and Chris Scott

brings in Tom Stewart. Does Ken Hinkley bring in Jed Mcentee to tag?

Could Jed become.. 2024 premiership player Jed Mcentee? boy oh boy

 

[sobrave]

Lol guess who's representing us in the grand final sprint?

 

[snozulu]

Lol guess who's representing us in the grand final sprint?

Come in thread thinking he's been delisted. Read grand final sprint lol

 

[Ported]

Lol guess who's representing us in the grand final sprint?

i only ask that you judge him on how much he pressures the other sprinters

 

[TeeKray]

 

[PeacefulWarrior]

Yeah but he’s paid less than the other sprinters and he’s not expected to do as much!!!

 

[RossFC]

Lol guess who's representing us in the grand final sprint?

He's up against the guy he drove out of town. Orazio Fantasia.

 

[Ningo]

way to get my hopes up

 

[TeeKray]

We're fresh off Rozee and Butters averaging 17 and 15 possessions respectively in the finals and this board still thinks that the likes of McEntee, Evans and Narkle are the problem. Wild.

17 possessions is the highest possession count McEntee has had in a game ever.

 

[PowerLil]

Jed's done the sprint before. Last year?

 

[PeacefulWarrior]

I mean it doesn’t help having 3 potatoes in your team though does it

It’s certainly part of the problem old mate

 

[rainwizard39]

Jed has pace? If we miss Perryman, why doesn’t the club at least try to develop him in that lockdown defender role Perryman was being brought in for? They rate his forward pressure; he has a year, and clearly isn’t working out as a forward. Might as well give it a go.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

In all fairness to McEntee, this is the closest he and the club will ever get to the Grand Final

 

[Duck Farmer]

I want to watch him sprint from behind the goals.

lol the middle was the only part of that game that we performed well in

 

[Freak Dodgeball Accident]

This kid was always destined for the big stage

 

[True__Believer]

When I saw this thread bumped I had a faint glimmer of hope that it was a delisting

 

[GoPorts]

Lol guess who's representing us in the grand final sprint?

Got to keep picking him next year for the experience he brings to the team. Him and Rioli are the only guys on the list who know what it's like to play on the MCG in that last day in September.
